Si hablamos de Rick Genest sin pronunciar Zombie Boy o Skeleton Boy detrás, muchos de vosotros puede que no caigáis en la cuenta de que el zombie viviente cubierto de tatuajes del vídeo Born this way de Lady Gaga no es otro que Rick, también conocido como Rico.
Zombie Boy ha desfilado para Thierry Mugler y es la imagen de su campaña de este periodo invernal, además es el ojito izquierdo del mitad japonés mitad italiano estilista Nicola Formichetti – todos sabemos que su ojito derecho es la excéntrica cantante Lady Gaga – y ha realizado editoriales para revistas como Fashion o GQ Italia.
Al parecer el canadiense de tan sólo 26 años comenzó su aventura dentro del mundo de los tatuajes con tan sólo 17, y ahora, casi una década después ha dado el salto a la fama gracias a su casi totalmente tatuado cuerpo.
¿Locura o arte? Yo aun tengo mis dudas.
If we talk about Rick Genest without pronouncing Zombie Boy or Skeleton Boy behind, most of you may not realize that the living zombie covered by tattoos who appears in the Lady Gaga’s Born this way video is nobody than Rick, also known as Rico.
Zombie Boy has paraded for Thierry Mugler and he also is the image of its wintry campaign, moreover he is the left eye of the half Japanese half Italian stylist Nicola Formichetti – we all know that his right eye is the eccentric singer Lady Gaga – and has been featured in some editorials for magazines like Fashion or GQ Italy.
It looks that the 26 year old Canadian boy started his adventure in the tattoo world when he was only 17, and now, almost a decade later he has burst onto fashion scene thanks to his almost totally tattooed body.
Is it a crazy thing or art? I doubt it.
